UKCC Level 2 Certificate

The 1st4sport UKCC Level 2 Certificate in Coaching Volleyball (L2CCVB) is the next step on the Volleyball England Coach Education Pathway, suitable for those Assistant Coaches who are keen to become an Independent Coach working in a club environment, running practical sessions on their own with an extended knowledge of how to structure, develop and progress towards a 6v6 game of volleyball. The course builds upon the knowledge, understanding and skills attained on the Level 1 Award.

What will I learn?

By the end of the course, the learner will:

Identify the essential aspects required to plan, deliver and evaluate a series of linked and progressive sessions for players in a club environment.

Know how to plan and deliver effective sessions that include the essential technical elements of fundamentals, postural control and ball-handling within the context of the game.

Apply a number of concepts relating to the Physical, Mental, Technical and Tactical elements of the game.

Analyse the game into its respective parts including defence, attack and transition.

Demonstrate competence against National Standards for coaches as defined by 1st4sport Qualifications.

What does the Level 2 Certificate qualify me to do?

The course will qualify the Coach to practice independently in a club environment where one might find:

School beginner / junior club players.

Senior beginner / social, club players in the lower levels of local and/or regional league.

The Independent Coach should be aware that this merely the start of their training and development; an enquiring Coach understands that learning requires Continuous Professional Development (CPD), achieved through attendance at sport specific and generic workshops that are provided by Volleyball England and other external providers such as sportscoachUK (ScUK).

What level will I be coaching?

sportscoachUK recognises the Independent Coach as someone who can effectively….“prepare for, deliver and review coaching session(s)”, in a club environment (UKCC definition).

What are the pre-requisites for entry on the course?

Learners are required to:

Be at least 18 years of age by the first day of delivery on the course.

What resource will I receive?

All learners will receive a high quality resource file including all assessments and this will act as a portfolio of evidence to support this qualification once submitted. In addition, a number of key references will be provided to support core learning outcomes including access to an on-line coach education website.

What Should I Bring with me to the Course?

Appropriate clothing for on-court practice.

A pen and notebook - you will need to complete sections of your 1st4sport Qualifications Learner Pack (handed out on the day of the course) throughout the day and take notes when required.
